[edit]Surely it covers what happens *before* and after the assassination?
The way I read it, we start off just as the assassination takes place. Notice that the Man is caught by the Merc Driver as he falls, and the Bodyguard and the DS Driver bundle the Woman into the car.
Confused blurry hospital scene - is it delirium brought on by trauma - or guilt? Or, a little of one and a little of the other?
Around the 6:30 mark, we're back to the room with the chessboard and the ceiling fans. The Sniper enters and sits down. An older man pushes a photo of the Man across the table to him, as the Woman watches.
Finally, the Mercedes stops to pick up the Sniper as he walks along. He joins the Bodyguard in the back seat, and just then the DS pulls up alongside. The Woman looks at them for a moment. The bodyguard removes his sunglasses and cradles his head in his hands, again possibly guilt at betraying the Man?
So anyway, it looks to me like the film ought to be read as 6:30 on is the chronological start of the events, with the Woman ordering the hit on the Man (or at least, being party to it). Maybe.Gordonjcp (talk) 22:54, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
